How to center vertically arrow between two Ferrer's diagrams

Question

I need to draw two Ferrer's diagrams with right arrow between them. I do it like so

\usepackage{youngtab}
$ \young(~,~,~,~~,~~,~~~) \longrightarrow \young(~,~,~,~,~~,~~,~~) $

But the arrow is drawn at the bottom of diagrams. How to center it vertically?

UPD: Preferably I need diagrams to stay aligned to the bottom, but the arrow must be centered. Also it should work for diagrams of any height without me having to correct a lot of code.

Probably \usepackage[vcentermath]{youngtab} helps. This will however also change the alignment of the two young tableaus. — leandriis, Aug 16 '20 at 15:04

This is one of the many possibilities using a matrix between the Young tableaux. If you want put the horizontal arrow above, you can add & \\.

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb}
\usepackage{youngtab}
\begin{document}
$ \young(~,~,~,,,~~~) \begin{matrix}  \longrightarrow &  \& \& \& \ & \ & \end{matrix}\young(~,~,~,~,,,~~) $
\end{document}

@Bernard LoL ...But it is not true.... – Sebastiano Aug 16 '20 at 15:16
But what if I need to draw another pair of diagrams with another height? I will need to rewrite matrix – Tony I. Aug 16 '20 at 16:19

@ReFruity Yes, with my code....but I not knew nothing for this package. I will switch for the answer of very nice user leandriis. It is the best. Can you give the check mark, please, to user leandriis? – Sebastiano Aug 16 '20 at 16:26

The youngtab package offers the vcentermath package option in order to vertically center insisde of math mode.

Adding this option to the package results in the following output:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[vcentermath]{youngtab}
\begin{document}
\[\young(~,~,~,~~,~~,~~~) \longrightarrow \young(~,~,~,~,~~,~~,~~) \]
\end{document}

This is good, but still does not solve the whole problem, I updated question with a remark. – Tony I. Aug 16 '20 at 16:44
